List of Video Clips

Video clips have been integrated in the Moderator's Guide and the Designer's Guide according to theme. They are compiled here as one list, grouped by role-play, in two sections:

• Teachers
• Students

A word of warning!
This guide presents about 50 video clips. The majority of these are under 1.5Mb in size. There are, however, about a dozen files sized in the range 2 to 4.8Mb. If you are using a modem to view the clips, download time might sometimes be an issue.

Thank you to all who agreed to be interviewed: Michael Adams, Maureen Bell, Gary Brierley, Elizabeth Devonshire, Michael Fardon, Mark Freeman, Mick Hillman, Albert Ip, Marie Jasinski, Robert McLaughlan, Rohan Miller, Simon O’Mallon, plus students of Macquarie University and the University of Wollongong.
